Oh wow Ian Murdock commit suicide :(
If we're putting developers on the list, it should be Fabrics Bellard or Graydon Hoare.
And even if it's contrary to popular opinion, I don't mind Bill Gates being a billionaire. I mean, I'd love to have invented the sole operating system for Windows and get all that money. My feeling is, if you make something that worthy you deserve to get paid over and over again.
He stepped back from running his company and got into philanthropy. That's what all billionaires should do.

I'm sure he didn't really invent the system out of whole cloth, most great inventions were copied from ideas of others.
